Envision Your Future

There's nothing wrong with starting with a daydream. How many times have you visually imagined something you wanted?

Quick Story

When I decided that my family should move away from Queens, NY, I only imagined having a home where there were no sidewalks and many trees. I really didn't know exactly how the home would look. Or how the neighborhood would be set up. I saw lawns that went all the way to the curb and trees like I saw when I took long road trips to upstate New York. The realtor showed us home after home for months. Then we finally found our place - no sidewalks and trees surrounding us. So, I really only had a small part that I envisioned. But I moved on that small piece of a vision. We started looking at homes for sale in different areas. We found a realtor who showed us so many options. And ultimately moved into a beautiful home that fits the term 'beyond what I could've imagined'.

(Back story - We lived on a quiet Queens block, I was home with my newborn baby, and teens decided over the course of weeks, to target our block walking in large groups breaking off the side-view mirrors of random cars.)

What we know so far...

A brain imagery study led by the University of Colorado Boulder and Icahn School of Medicine confirms that imagination is a neurological reality that can impact our brains and bodies in ways that matter for our well-being.[1] 

All creation begins with a thought…If we keep thinking about making the future become a reality, we naturally begin to insert ourselves into the scene of our future.[2]

In art, the hand can never execute anything higher than the heart can imagine. Ralph Waldo Emerson

If you can imagine it, it can be real.

Let go of the past and go for the future. Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you imagined. Henry David Thoreau 

I have learned, that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. Henry David Thoreau
